President Trump has intensified his assault on diversity programs, pushing the private sector to abandon these initiatives while placing those managing such programs on leave. His new executive orders revoke historical protections enacted since 1965 aimed at preventing discrimination in federal employment, particularly for women, minorities, and LGBTQ+ individuals. Advocates warn that these measures undermine key efforts targeting systemic racism and inequities in society, effectively calling into question the necessity and legality of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts within both public and private spheres.
Civil rights advocates argue diversity programs address longstanding inequities and structural racism, highlighting their importance in promoting opportunities for underrepresented groups.
Trump's recent executive order revokes previous protections against discrimination based on race, gender and religion, believing they institute illegal DEI discrimination.
